novel and every bit OF it was entertain

Nearly every chair In the hall was
filed The stage was prettily set for
garden scene. Flowers and plants were
banked against sylvan BACKGROUND and
bevys of handsome young ladies added to
it's attractions. Twenty young milk
maids in pink, blue and white gowns and
dainty bonnets, with milking stools and
pals on their bangled arms, tilled the
gallery and looked pltyingly down upon
twice that number OF young men in the
audience and planned whom they would
lead so innocentiy to the refreshment
tables for ice cream after the entertain
ment was over.
The first thing on the programme was
music. Then came "rhe Quaker's Court
ship" by Miss Julia Bates and Master
Harry Stracban. 1t was followed by
mistress Mary's Garden,'' verv pretty
tableeu. A dozen little tots, dressed in
as many different ways as flowers, stood
among the tall, waving foliage on the
stage. Their little heads dropped until
"Mistress Mary" with her spriuklIng pot
came among them, and then they bright
ened up like plants after shower. Miss
Annie Norwood made charming Miss
tress Mary"
"Tennyson's Dream of Fair Women"
reading and tableau was the next sur
prise. The lights in the hall were low

down. The poem was read by Miss Mary
l.. Davis, and the curtain rolled up as the
fair subjects OF The bard's dream were in
troduced. Miss Fina Hopkins as Helen

up beautiful tableau.
"5hamus O'Brien" was recited by Mr. :.
Richardson, alter which Mrs. j. G. Youge
gave piano solo, "Gems OF Scotland"

gem OF the evening. Mrs. Yonge is a
musician of widely recognized talent,
and her production of Rive Kings COM
position was repeatedly applauded. In
response she played with her left
hand Home, Sweet Home, an exceedingly
difficult performance perfectly accom-
pIished.
Mr.. and Mrs. II. L. Moore greatly
amused the audience in a shadow panto-
mime, THE COurtin'," and Miss Fuller, Of
Nashville. Tenn, sang with excellent eff
feet marguerite" One of the prettest
features OF the entertainment was the
taoleau Goddess of Liberty" in which
Miss tina Hopkins was the goddess.

success than any that the Earnest

its success is due to the earnest efforts OF
Miss AddIe Wilson.
